52 Dead After Muslim Militants Attack Iraqi Christian Church

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces stormed a Baghdad church where militants had taken an entire congregation hostage for four hours, leaving at least 52 people dead, including a priest, Iraqi officials said Monday.
It was not immediately clear whether the hostages died at the hands of the attackers or during the rescue late on Sunday night in an affluent neighborhood of the capital.
The incident began when militants wearing suicide vests and armed with grenades attacked the Iraqi stock exchange at dusk Sunday before turning their attention to the nearby Our Lady of Deliverance church – one of Baghdad’s main Catholic places of worship – taking about 120 Christians hostage.
Maj. Gen. Hussein Ali Kamal, the deputy interior minister, said 52 people were killed and 67 wounded, in the bloodbath. Officials said at least one priest and 10 policemen were among the dead. Many of the wounded were women.
A Christian member of parliament on Monday described the Iraqi rescue operation as “not professional,“ saying ”it was a hasty action that prompted the terrorists to kill the worshipers.”
“We have no clear picture yet whether the worshipers were killed by the security forces bullets or by terrorists, but what we know is that most of them were killed when the security forces started to storm the church,” Younadem Kana said.
Video footage from an American drone that was overhead during the attack showed a black plume of smoke followed by flashes from inside the building before what appears to be soldiers going in. U.S. forces often supply air support to Iraqi forces conducting operations on the ground, feeding them video footage of what American drones see from the air.
The casualty information was confirmed by police and officials at hospitals where the dead and wounded were taken.
There were conflicting accounts about the number of attackers involved in the assault, with Baghdad military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi saying Sunday night that security forces killed eight, while the U.S. military said between five and seven died.
Two police officers on the scene, however, say only three attackers were killed and another seven arrested afterward.
Outside the Syrian Catholic church Monday morning, Raed Hadi leaned against his car on top of which rested a casket holding the body of his cousin, who was killed in the siege. Hadi was waiting for the police to let him onto the church grounds to bury his relative. He railed against Iraqi authorities.
“It was a massacre in there and now they are cleaning it up,” said Raed. “We Christians don’t have enough protection. … What shall I do now? Leave and ask for asylum?”
Police pushed back onlookers from around the church by erecting a barbed wire fence but residents and people from the Christian community claimed that it was too little, too late.
A cryptically worded statement posted late Sunday on a militant website allegedly by the Islamic State of Iraq appeared to claim responsibility for the attack. The group, which is linked to al-Qaida in Iraq, said it would “exterminate Iraqi Christians” if Muslim women in Egypt were not freed.
It specifically mentioned two women in Egypt that extremists maintain have converted to Islam and are being held against their will in Egypt. The two are wives of priests and are believed to have converted to Islam to leave their husbands since divorce is banned by Egypt’s Coptic Church. One woman disappeared in 2004 and another in July.
Egypt’s Christians had maintained they were kidnapped and staged rallies for their release. Both were later recovered by police, denied any conversions and were then spirited away to distant monasteries.
In the message, the militants claim the two are still Muslim and called upon the Vatican, which held a meeting earlier in October to discuss the fate of Christians in the Middle East, to release the women.
“We direct our speech to the Vatican and say that as you met with Christians of the Mideast a few days ago to support them and back them, now you have to pressure them to release our sisters, otherwise death will reach you all,” the message said.
Iraqi Christians, who have been frequent targets for Sunni insurgents, have left in droves since the 2003 U.S.-led war. Catholics used to represent 2.89 percent of the population in 1980; by 2008 they were just 0.89 percent.
One Iraqi man who identified himself only as Abu Sami for security reasons, said his wife was inside the church during the attack. Although she was unharmed, he said he feared that the church siege signaled a new round of violence by militants against Iraq’s Christian community.
“I expect the coming attacks will be worse in the future since the government is doing nothing to protect us. We are peaceful people and never harmed any of our fellow countrymen, so we do not understand the reasons behind such evil attacks,” he said.
“Many Christians now believe that they do not have any hope in Iraq and the best thing to survive is to seek another country to live in,” he said.

Posted on November 1, 2010 at 9:21amDo not be fooled by anyone who says that islam is a religion of peace. Islam never was and never will be a religion of peace. Look it up for yourself–don’t believe anyone. There is no such thing as moderate muslims–if they denounced their brothers who murder they will be considered non belivers and will be killed. The fact is we are at war with islam because it is their way. They will not stop until all non believers are dead and they rule the world under allah.

Posted on November 1, 2010 at 8:58amI saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
Rev 6:9-11 (ESV)
All of your outrage is just. All of your anger equally so. However these things must be done for the scriptures to be completed. Jesus warns every believer they will face hardship, persecution and death. It is a false Christianity that says its easy to be a Christian. We are the body of Christ and just as Christ did not spare His own apostles hardship neither will He spare us from it. We are destined for it in fact. Celebrate with those that are gone, for they have seen what we still here can only dream and guess about. The promise of Jesus is that they are immediately with Him in heaven and have comforted and told to wait a little while longer. It is not easy but it has to be this way. If there were another way Jesus would have done it.

Upon reading the article it states that an arch bishop from Massachusetts decided that the arrival of Christ nullifies the contracts the jews have with the promised land of Israel. Pope Benedict and deceased Pope John Paul, both recognized Israel as the homeland of Jews- although they haven’t been on board with the US war in Iraq or the Palestinians being murdered either. Nothing has changed. Arch Bishops cannot change Papal decrees or positions. The papacy has been quite clear about the Jews rightful place in Israel, in addition Pope John Paul II has decreed that any religion that believes in one God who is omnipotent and loving- is in fact worshiping the same God that the Catholics are.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 4:15pmI would expect no less from this group and even the moderates. They are all muslims and honor the koran. They are the bottom of the bucket in the human gene pool. They should be flushed from the planet. There is not hope that this group will ever fit in modern society. There is only there way and no other. This planet does not need or want this group around. None of them can be trusted.
